Ground cover plants are low-growing plants that spread across the soil, helping to cover bare ground. They are often used in gardens and landscapes to prevent soil erosion, suppress weeds, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of an area. Common types include Creeping Thyme, Ajuga, and Pachysandra. These plants can thrive in various conditions, from sunny to shady areas, and come in different textures and colors. Ground cover plants are also beneficial for improving soil health and providing habitats for small wildlife. They are an excellent choice for filling in spaces between larger plants or for creating a lush, green carpet in gardens.
